enriched his soil with elephant and other animal manure. Gardeners searching for premium tomato seeds will love these meaty, low-acid fruits that can reach a pound or more. Who it's for Great for gardeners who want a big, dependable yellow slicer and for cooks who prefer sweet, low-acid tomatoes for fresh eating. How & when to plant Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, sowing 1/4 inch deep in warm soil around 70–80°F. Transplant after frost has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun with 6–8 hours of light daily. These indeterminate vines need staking or caging and grow as warm-season annuals in USDA zones 3–11. Harvest Fruit ripens about 80 days after transplanting. Pick when the tomatoes turn a rich golden-orange and give slightly to the touch. Regular harvesting keeps the vines producing well into the season. Benefits & uses With their sweet, mild taste and meaty texture, these tomatoes shine sliced fresh on sandwiches and salads. The golden color adds beautiful contrast to a plate, and the large size makes them excellent for canning and sauces. Growing guide: New to this variety?
